"The Nebraska School Activities Association (NSAA) has been wrestling with what to do with transgender athletes for years. In December of 2012, the NSAA quietly opened the door for transgender students to play for the teams that match their gender identities, but its latest policy proposal places several hurdles into the process, some of which are likely to be insurmountable. In fact, the policy segregates the locker room usage of almost every transgender student who would take advantage of it, which is quite likely a violation of federal law."

The battle lines are drawn. Nebraska on one side and the federal government on the other. I don't know enough about the law to have a prayer of handicapping this one, other than to say that if there is a change of party in the White House, this will be Over with a capital O and Nebraska will have won, because I can't imagine any of the Republicans wanting to push this.

The Republicans will do much more than push it.  They will do everything in their power to block it and erect as many barriers as they can.
